My starter on 1994 Jeep was turning the engine over slower and slower over the past month. I did not want to be stranded as my wife is out of town frequently. So I bought a new starter and changed it out recently. I do not have a lift so I jacked it up a little to make getting under the Jeep a...

My 94 Jeep has been leaking or burning coolant for the past month or so. I have been adding coolant/water mix and it has used 2 gallons in the past month I have looked in the engine compartment at least 6 times the past month and never saw any coolant spraying or leaking Today was a nice day...

A ride. Me and some buds are leaving Sunday for about 3k mile trip over next 8 days. The Harley had about 3k miles on the HD 20w50 oil in the crankcase. I drained out 1 quart and put in a quart of Valvoline synthetic VR1 20w50 oil. I figure that should keep the oil additives in good shape for...

I changed the front brake pads on my Jeep about a month ago. Today it was really hot and I had several long downhills where I had to brake for traffic and lights. I kept thinking I smelled burning brakes. When I stopped for a red light, sure enough I saw some smoke coming from my passenger side...

I have some small engines on generator and other OPE that I only use occasionally. On my generator with a fuel cutoff switch, I run the carb out of fuel and then store it. With the others, they have fuel in them while sitting in the garage. Question is does it matter to the carb if it has fuel...

Well after 136k miles, my engine light came on. I stopped by OReillys and an Oreillys employee scans it and tells me it is an oxygen sensor. He asks me what the Jeep is doing and I say it is running fine like always. He proceeds to say that it is a fairly cheap fix, etc. I drove home with no...

Was having some throttle sensor problems. Stalling while driving it fairly often. Tranny was whining. Had bearing and race replaced 3 years ago. Starter had some new and funky grinding sounds the past few months. I ride often and about 12k miles per year. Was really not confident in the bike...

I have a small leak in my 1994 Jeep. I replaced radiator upper and lower hose during Christmas. Put in new long life antifreeze thinking hose was old and leaking. However I now realize that the leak is from somewhere, not sure really where, except that it is on passenger side of radiator. I have...
